At Moodbidri there are several Jain Basadi's built anytime between 14th and 16th century. One among them is Kallu Basadi. This temple is completely built of stone and hence the name Kallu Basadi.
The temple consist of sanctum, Sukanasi as the innermost area. It is surrounded by Namaskara Mantapa followed by Badhra Mantapa. The temple has double tiled sloppy roof.
In the sanctum the presiding deity is Sri Sheethala Natha Swami, cut in a rare variety of stone, its color being a blend of white and brown.
In front of the temple is finely carved Manastambha.
